ARDUOUS WORK DURING FOUR AND A HALF YEARS OF WAR, Has Reviewed Over 2,000,000 Troops, Visited Over 300 Hospitals, Decorated 12,000. In an article on the King, au English writer says: "Good old George!" This may not at first blush appear to be a very re- .'spectful way of hailing one's sover- eign; but it is the Shout that rang out in Hyde ,Park when His Majesty re- vieweethe Legion that marches un- der the Silver Badge. Among Eng- lishmen the adjective "old" when ap- plied to a man indicates not age. but affection, That he is loved. It was in this sense that it was applied to the King in .Hyde Park, and none lcnew better than our sovereign how to take it. It told him, indeed. the depth and homely affection in which he is held, Aral it is betraying no royal confidence to say that it went straight to the heart. To parody a famous line, "All the world loves a worker." And how King George has worked for the nation these past four years and three months! During that period he has been a stranger to holidays. It is doubtful if he has had more than ton consecutive days in his beloved Nor- folk home, if as much. Messages to Seven Fronts. The barest recital' of a fraction of what he has accomplished, accom- panied often by her Majesty, makes one marvel at the endurance and high sense :of duty which could accomplish this and much more: His Majesty has carried out well over 200 inspections, reviewing in doing so over 2,000,000 troops; no division has left these shores for any of our seven fronts -- for we were fighting on seven fronts at one time—without either being in- spected by the King, or, if circumstan- ces rendered that impossible, hearing a farewell message from him: he has,: visited with his sympathetic smile and 'molly word the wounded in more t n .300 hospitals; lie has gone t trough 150 munition factories, charm- ing all, men, women and girls, with his bonhomie, and has presented with his own hand more than 12,000 de- corations won on the field of battle. Four separate visits have been paid to the Grand Fleet—the last of which was on the eve of the surrender of the German navy. On shore, naval bases and depots have been visited thirteen times. ` There has not been an air-raid on a London district but his Majesty, ac- companied by the Queen, has not driven to the devastated district to express, his sympathy with the suf- ferers. urferers. ' A Hard -Working King. The King is probably one of the busiest men in the Empire, his work being in many unthought-of and un- heard-of labors. For this Mr. Lloyd George vouched when he said: "There is one lean who is working as hard as the hardest worked man in this coun- try, and he is the sovereign of the realm." The writer then proceeds to tell how he does it: To get through the enormous amount of work which comes to his Majesty's table, a private secretary and two assistant secretaries are ne- cessary. For there are many State matters which the King and the King alone can pass. Half -past nine in the morning sees his Majesty „at work, and he would be a rash man who names the hour when all was done. For there is one thing which the ruler of this vast Empire insists on—no work that ran otherwise be dealt with must he left over to the next day. He is "a clean -desk man." The writer then proceeds to tell of the domestic side of his life, showing how every regulation issued by the food or coal controller was obeyed to the very lottee in his household, fireplaces being reduced in size, light- ing cut down, and heavy reductions nit,rn all laundry accounts. No ste -up food was ever found at Buckingham or Windsor such as Pots- dam revealed. Flower -beds grew vege- tables for the nation; in short, he and his family did their best to share the people's cares and sacrifices. A THOUGHTFUL PRISONER. o Kept Record of Comrades' Death In Captivity. The thousands of missing British prisoners in Germany constitute one of the most pathetic tragedies of the war. The number unaccounted for would doubtless be greater still had it not been for the thoughtfulness of some who also suffered in German prisons but survived. One recently returned prisoner, who served as orderly in a German hospi- tal, kept a record of all the British patients who died there, and since his home -coining has written to their kinsfolk enclosing a copy of a photo- graph, which he had specially taken for the purpose, of the English corner of the hospital cemetery.

"Has the war made much difference to you?" asked the new servant whiS'" had been engaged in an English household. "The missus said we'd got to econo- mize, se we've 'ad margarine with meals in the kitchen," replied the old cook. "Doesn't she have it, then?" "Not 'er" She says as 'ow it doesn't suit 'er digestion. But there ain't nothing wrong with 'er digestion. We know that, for we often sends 'er up margarine, and 'ave butter ourselves." A Nice Surprise. Mr, Jones rang the bell at the new doctor's house. Usually he went to his old family doctor, but this new man happened to live nearer and it was. ail urgent call. The doctor's wife answered the ring. "You wish to see the doctor?" she said. "Couldn't you conte to -morrow morning?" "Why?" said Jones.. "Isn't the doc- tor in?" "Oh, yes, he's in," said the lady wistfully, "but you're his first patient, and I'd like you to come as a surprise for hint to -morrow. You see, it's his birthday!" "As You Were." A certain Irish sergeant was exceed- ingly wroth when he discovered that one of his men had paid a visit to the regimental barber and had come back without his moustache. "Private Jones," he roared, "who on earth gave yez permission to have that moustache cut off?" "No one," answered Jones, uncon- cernedly; "I thought it would improve my appearance." "Improve your appearance wid a face like yours!" bawled the enraged sergeant. "If yez don't have it on again at the afternoon parade to -day, there'll be trouble!" A Philosophical Lover, So many romantic and pathetic anecdotes are related of precious love letters, cherished in trench and battle by gallant lovers in war -scarred France, that the reflections of a pen- sive Frenchman in L'Horizon, the journal of the poilus, make a refresh- ing change.

"She places the remedy near the ill and often cures, as everyone has seen, evil by evil. A woman, too much loved, sent me a let- ter so cruel that I didn't even have the strength to tear it up, but carried it around in niy pocket for weeks. One night, when I was quartered in a stable, I took my coat off and hung it up. "The next day, no letter. A cow had eaten it. Nature is kind." AIRMEN HELPED GEN. ALLENBY more tart than SSU Capt. Alan Bott of R. A. F. Tells of Palestine Camp,gn. Captain Alan Bott of the Royal Mr Forces recently .arrived in New York from Palestine and Syria, where he served with Gen. Allenby's army in its march through the Holy Land and its fight against the Turkish army led by German officers. He was shot down and captured in Palestine, imprisoned in Damas- cus, sent to Asia Minor, and fihall-y to Constantinople. He escaped in dis- guise and reached a port in Russia which he found in control of the Ger- mans and the Bolshevilci, and finally got away to Bulgaria. Previous to his adventures in the near East, Captain Batt, .who is twenty-six years of age, flew for two years aicng the Western front and was shot down during one of the battles of the Somme, but escaped capture. Speaking of the Palestine cam- paign, Capt. Bott said: "The Turks ase good at fighting on the ground, but they could not fly, and their airplanes were all manned by Germans or Austrians. Our job was to make flights across to Naz- areth, Nablous—which was ancient Sechem—..and other points held by the enemy, and to do low strafing, which scared the Mohammedan sol- diers'to death, as they were convinc- ed we were in league with the evil one. Other machines were used for bombing the forts held by the enemy, but great care was taken to spare the holy places, like Nazareth, etc. "The British aviators did a great deal toward making the success of General Allenby's army in Palestine and Syria. They turned the Turkish retreat into an absolute rout by bombing all the signal stations so that the enemy could not ascertain the movements of its own armies and they sat on the airdromes and did not let a stingle German plane go up to make signals." The Peace Cali. "I am the voice of the uplands ringing from hill to hill, Calling you back to action; hearken and do my will. Put up your spear and saber, sinoth.er the torch and brand, Lay down your weapons of warfare; come back, for peace is at hand. Back tp your reeking workshops, turn- ing again to toil: Lift up the horn of plenty out of the teeming soil. Shoulder the pick and shovel, kindle again the berth, Scatter the wheat and barley over the wasted earth. "For the cannon is hushed in the low- land, the order has been with- drawn, And the ' sound of disbanding armies echoes from clerk to dawn. Up from the reeking by -ways come the sons and daughters of lien, Beating their swords and shrapnel back into plows again. Over the waste of the valley the sound of an anvil rings, And up from the fields of carnage a blood -red poppy springs. And the shepherd is out on the hill- side, calling again to his sheep: And the song of the busy sickle awak- ens the earth from sleep. , , . "Hark to the voice of the uplands, ringing from deep to deep, Calling to peaceful battle ere I again turn to sleep." The eaelliest •steam vessels also car- ried .sails, the idea being to relieve the stress on the engines. "The rays of happiness, like those of dight, are colorless when unbrolc- eii.

The work accomplished by this corps has not only been ,a large factor in main-� taming the health and ceinfort of the army, but has prevented and relieved. untold suffering upon the part of the Canadian boys overseas. Tho reputation of e:anadian den- tists in the army spread far beyond the Canadian forces, and Imperial sol- diers frequently sought the services of Canadian dental surgeons at great personal inconvenience to themselves. A new p,nd remarkable develop- ment has, however, taken place in the Dental Corps, and that is the replace- ment, by artificial substitute, of lost •facial tissue, including eve or nose and the surrounding. parts. In the case of the nose, the part is repro- duced aluminum, and is +then tinted artist the exact color of the face, by an ar t especially retained for this purpose. Possibly even more remarkable are the substitutes for a lost eye. In these cases a great deal of the orbit has also been shot away, --and it is neces- sary to restore these parts before the artificial eye is set in place. This work includes the lashes, eyelids and all the surrounding parts, When com- pleted the specially trained artist is again called into requisition, and the whole piece is cleverly attached to a specially constructed pair of spec- tacles, and the "camouflage" is' so per- fect that the casual observer is entire- ly deceived. The centre of this work for Canada is the Royal College of Dental Sur- geons of Ontario, Toronto. This col- lege, without public grant of any kind, has carried on during the war, and at the same time has placed certain sec- tions of its building at the disposal of the Militia Department for the work of the Dental Corps, This has been done absolutely without charge, either for rent or any of the accessories, such as light or heat, This generous treatment is still being accorded so long as the Dental Corps requires special facilities which the Ontario College is able to supply.

The great cry which rises from all our manufacturing citiee, louder than the furnace blast, is all in very deed for this, that we manufacture there everything except men. We blanch cotton, and strengthen steel, and re- fine sugar, and shape pottery; but to brighten,,,1;o strengthen, to refine, or to form a single living spirit, never enters into our estimate of advant- ages. And all the evil to which that cry is urging our myriads can be met only in one way . by a right understanding on the part of all classes of what kinds of labor axe good for men, raising them and mak- ing them happy; by a determined saerifiee of such conv nience, or beauty, or cheapness, as is to be got only by the degradation of ebe work- man; and by en equally determined demand for the products and results of healthy and ennobling labor.-- Ruskin. abor.—Ruskin.

This will cost very little but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn from one's feet. A few drops of this new ether com- pound applied directly upon a tender, aching corn should relieve the sore- ness instantly, and soon the entire corn, root and all, dries up and can be lifted out with the fingers. This new way to rid one's feet of corns was introduced by a Cincinnati man, who says that, while freezone is sticky, it dries in a moment, and sim- ply shrivels up the corn without in- flaming or even irritating the sur- rounding tissue or skin. Don't let father die of infection or lockjaw from whittling at his corns, but clip this out and make him try' it. He Stared, Too. • "The biggest fire I've ever seen was at New York, said the American. "It was a very high building, and the lad- ders were not tall enough to reach the window at which a lady was stand- ing. "Wal," he went on, "we were just beginning to despair, when a lucky thought seemed to strike one of the firemen. Catching hold of a hose, he took it alongside• of the house, and turned the nozzle upwards so that a stream of water shot continuously past the window. Summoning up her courage the lady stepped from the ledge, and, putting her arms and legs about the jet of water, slid to the bot- tom, .and was saved "Oh that's notning! • said the Eng- lishman. n -lishman. "I saw an even more excit- ing rescue than that. A large hotel was burning furiously, when. at the top storey of the building, a girl ap- peared.

The variety of "tapgle-tongue" cal- led "Spoonertism" originated, probab- ly, with the earliest attempts at hu- man speech, but though so well known, it is not yet defined in the dic- tionaries. The association of it with Professor . Spooner is recalled by a newspaper paragraph which says that in a sermon to Oxford under- graduates he is reported to have said: "Brethren, have you never felt within your heart a half -warmed fish to be good?" His little son came by the failing honestly, for he is credited with saying at brealcfast: "Mamma, please pass the parlor maid." An- other case mentioned is that of the young curate who, basing his first sermon on the text, "The cock crew and Peter went out and wept bitter- ly," remarked •solemnly, "The cock wept and Peter went out and crew bitterly—no, 1 mean Peter crew and the cock went out 'and wept bitterly."

Massage is to the scalp what phy- sical culture is to the body. It pro- motes the growth of the hair by ex- citing to new activity the tiny glands which contribute to the structure, and also tones up the scalp layers, which with neglect relax' unhealth- ily. The circulation of the scalp is also increased, thus preventing atro- .phy of the hair roots and the gray- ness which results from lit. "So valu- able, in fact, is massage for young and old," says an authority on the subject, "that when properly under- stood and appreciated we shale .see fewer bald heads and a vastly higher average of beautifully abundant tresses than we do now." Nearly 3,000,000 pounds of hams, valued at 570,000 taeis (about $550,- 000 United States currency)- were ex- ported from China during 1917. Great Britain was the principal importer. The Chinese consume vast quantities of hams and pork. Pigs are raised everywhere in China. beinard's Liniment Cures Dandruff, It ,is a good plan to have a cheap watch to carry on the farm.
